Immunomodulatory and Cytotoxic Properties of Enniatin B1 in Porcine Alveolar Macrophages

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the immunomodulatory effects of Enniatin B1 (ENNB1), an emerging mycotoxin, on porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs), a species‐specific model relevant to human innate immunity. PAMs were exposed to increasing ENNB1 concentrations (0.5–6 μM) over 6, 24, and 48 h.

Evolutionary trade‐offs between beauvericin production and growth define divergent virulence strategies in Beauveria

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Two virulence strategies in Beauveria: a growth strategy characterized by rapid within‐host proliferation, and a toxin strategy involving antimicrobial activity and toxicity to insects Abstract BACKGROUND Pathogen virulence is often attributed to toxin production, yet toxins are metabolically costly and may not universally enhance fitness.

Regulation of phospholipase D in HL-60 granulocytes. Activation by phorbol esters, diglyceride, and calcium ionophore via protein kinase- independent mechanisms.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1989
It has recently been demonstrated that the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-Met-Leu-Phe activates phospholipase D (PLD) in dimethyl sulfoxide-differentiated HL-60 granulocytes to produce phosphatidic acid (PA) and, in the presence of ethanol ...

SAFE: a Mix‐and‐Read Assay for miRNA Detection in Extracellular Vesicles From Unprocessed Plasma Toward Clinical Disease Diagnosis

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
SAFE (Sonication‐Assisted liposome Fusion with EVs) is a rapid, mix‐and‐read assay that directly detects extracellular vesicle–encapsulated miRNAs from unprocessed plasma. By delivering molecular beacons into EVs via sonication‐driven liposome fusion, the method enables intravesicular hybridization with minimal background, providing quantitative ...

Effect of calcium ions on the aggregation of highly phosphorylated tau

open access: yesBiochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Tau is typically an axonal protein, but in neurons of brains affected by Alzheimer's disease (AD), aggregation of hyperphosphorylated tau in the somatodendritic compartment causes neuronal death.

A quad‐cistronic fluorescent biosensor system for real‐time detection of subcellular Ca2+ signals

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The calcium ion (Ca2+) is a versatile cellular messenger regulating a variety of biological processes. Compounds modulating subcellular Ca2+ signals hold substantial pharmacological potential. Advances in fluorescent biosensors have revolutionised Ca2+ imaging.

A forward genetic screen reveals that calcium-dependent protein kinase 3 regulates egress in Toxoplasma.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2012
Egress from the host cell is a crucial and highly regulated step in the biology of the obligate intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii. Active egress depends on calcium fluxes and appears to be a crucial step in escaping the attack from the immune ...

GCN2 in proteostasis: structural logic, signalling networks and disease

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Threats to protein synthesis activate the kinase GCN2, initiating the integrated stress response (ISR). GCN2 is triggered by stalled ribosomes and uncharged tRNAs, which accumulate when amino acids are scarce. The ISR adjusts cellular physiology by promoting redox balance, protein quality control, and mitochondrial optimisation.
